What is best in life?

The mu·​si·​cian

@DavidAriew Simple "prompters" are one thing. But AI is just a tool. Use it as a workflow enhancement & your work grows w/no feelings of fraud attached. The solo studio is more real than ever for those w/actual creative skills. Doesn't diminish traditional art. I used to think it did tho...

Everyone is so mad about this but it looks like an upgrade to my eyes. Video game characters look like ass on the whole and this does improve the photorealism, full stop. This wasn’t meant to be a stylistic game. It was trying to be photoreal and ran into limitations. To me this is actual utility for AI, similar to what Magnific can do to add micro details and that extra layer of polish to low res textures. Yes, the animation is still janky and to a degree it’s like putting makeup on a pig, but these are the steps to visual improvement and I’m sure that’s next. As someone who has worked in the 3D industry for over 15 years, I also feel that the tools have plateaued, and what I have access to today isn’t significantly better than what it was a decade ago. This feels like the jump from CPU rendering to GPU rendering and all I’m seeing is hate, why??

- It's AI - Sure, whatever.

Holdup, I can use SVGs in After effects finally?! WHAT?!

I don't even know. 🤦‍♂️

Sunday.

@geoffkeighley Been wanting a good God game for a long time now, very stoked about this!

Peter Molyneux's Masters of Albion, a "culmination of [his] life's work," will come to Steam on April 22. Here's the new trailer.

@venturepictures You mean I can finally stop watching reruns on PlutoTV? 🥳

One thing I hope Amazon does when reviving Stargate: consider episode count. 8 or 10 isn’t enough imo. I’d rather 12 to 15, even with some “filler.” #Stargate nailed those smaller stories for character growth. I think fans would trade some VFX for more episodes? Agree?

@StrawberrySith @jake_theviking holy shit, this is actually the perfect description.

@jake_theviking Imagine a lukewarm bath. Is it hot? Is it cold? Who even cares? I guess I'm clean. Whatever. It was like that.

Without spoilers, how’s the #strangerthings5 episode?

@AIWarper 👀

Playing with Luma's latest video-2-video tool for Ray3. Absolutely INSANE output...totally usable in a lot of cases. Imagine this in the hands of someone with professional post production skills and not a peasant like me 🤣 Thoughts?

Stepping away also boosts authentic creativity.

Trust the process ✂️

Success is.... Repetition and competency. That's it. That's the formula.

Almost that time again! 🌲

Stay in your lane. Focus on what you can control and improve. Everything else is just noise and meant to slow down your progress.

Going through old work, found this one I forgot about. Swan Lake.

Client work pays the bills. Personal work feeds the soul. And my soul is starving.
